Default Lorene
Hello All:

Wanted to share my latest finished carving with you all. Some may remember it from it's early beginnings. I finally finished 'Lorene' named in honor of my Mother who passed on in 1960. She would have loved this carving.

It's carved from Colorado Aspen and the base is Juniper from Prescott, AZ.
The carving is 18" inches tall including the base.

As always I enjoy your comments

Priceless!
It's quite obvious that your heart and soul went into the piece! I believe she would be very pleased with your honor of her!

Kathy,

Wow! that's an accomplishment. Quite an excellent accomplishment at that. 18 inches tall - that's a larger carving. I really like this piece. She has that look that can haunt one....Well done.

That's a beautiful carving, Kathy. How was the juniper to carve? Did you use power on this, or edge tools?
